GET READY FOR "STRETCH ARMSTRONG: THE MOVIE"

On January 16, 2008, American toy company Hasbro, Inc. filed to protect the trademark Stretch Armstrong in relation to "production and distribution of motion pictures, television programs, television games shows and cartoon series; on-going television programs in the nature of children's game shows and animated television cartoon series; providing interactive computer games by means of a global computer network."Hasbro filed way back in 2003 for a Stretch Armstrong trademark related to a movie and TV show. While that trademark is still active, this more recent filing could be an indication that a Stretch Armstrong movie is one step closer to reality.

According to IGN and others, The Hollywood Reporter reported back in 2000 that Jackie Chan was negotiating with Disney to co-develop a Stretch Armstrong action-comedy feature. The story at that time was said to focus on Chan as an "uptight Chinese spy and martial artist who stumbles upon a secret formula that gives him stretching powers." With his newfound abilities, the character, who was previously in control and used precise fighting moves, must adapt to use his new skills. However,the project had been creeping along in development for years before the announcement of Chan's potential involvement. And Chan was the third actor to be associated with the project. Previous potential "Stretches" were Tim Allen, and Danny DeVito.

While the Stretch Armstrong page at Hollywood.com still lists detailed cast and crew info for the rumored film, there is currently no film-related Stretch Armstrong entry on IMDb, or reference to the film on the pages of the people and companies supposedly involved. Mork wonders if this new filing suggests that new developments and/or news on the Stretch Armstrong project is forthcoming.Below are the production Credits associated with the movie.

Feb 20th 2008 Movie Report

Movies based on "Stretch Armstrong" could be heading to a cinema near you, thanks to a deal struck between toy giants Hasbro and film company Universal Pictures.

A six-year partnership between the two has been announced, with at least four feature films based on branded properties promised.

The deal comes after the success of Hasbro-themed movie "Transformers," which was put together by DreamWorks and Paramount. A sequel is scheduled to begin production this year.

Meanwhile, Hasbro's "G.I. Joe" - another Paramount movie - is set for a 2009 release.

Bizarrely, a "Monopoly" movie is already in the works, developed by Ridley Scott and Scott Free.

"This deal gives Universal access to some of the greatest brands in the world," Universal chairman Marc Shmuger and co-chairman David Linde said in a statement. "Hasbro's portfolio of products has tremendous emotional resonance with children and adults. They offer an exciting opportunity for us to develop tentpole movies with built-in global brand awareness, which is a key component of our slate strategy."

Hasbro chief operating officer Brian Goldner added: "Universal's creativity and worldwide marketing and distribution strength make them the perfect partner. Today's Hasbro is so much more than a traditional toy and game company, and this partnership is a powerful example of how we are offering our consumers new ways to enjoy unique and immersive experience with our brands."

Universal Pictures and Hasbro Inc. Announce Stretch Armstrong Set for Release in 2011

Who would have ever thought way back in the 1970s that Stretch Armstrong would make it to the big screen? Well 32 years later it looks very promising that the old boy will be stretching his talents to new heights and and appear opn the silver screen. 

Universal Pictures and Hasbro, Inc. have formed a six-year strategic partnership to produce four motion pictures based on the games "Monopoly," "Clue," "Ouija," "Battleship," "Magic,the Gathering" and of course "Stretch Armstrong."Under terms of the deal, Hasbro will partner exclusively with Universal Pictures for feature films, with the exception of "Transformers" amd "G.I. Joe".The first movie from the new deal will be released in 2010 or 2011, and Universal will release at least one film a year thereafter.Stretch Armstrong is slated to be released first in the series.

Back in February, we told you that Steve Oedekerk was developing a big screen adaptation of Stretch Armstrong as part of Universal’s deal with Hasbro to turn board games and toys into a series of possibly horrible probably pointless movies. Well it appears the film is going into production, and even has a release date - April 15, 2011. Academy Award winning producer Brian Grazer (A Beautiful Mind, American Gangster) has come on board to produce the project. Grazer issued the following statement: “Stretch Armstrong is a character I have wanted to see on screen for a long time. He’s an unconventional kind of super hero with a power that no one would want. It’s a story about a guy stretching - if you will - the limits of what is possible to become all that he can be.”
